About Speckles

Speckles is a very special boy currently with Corridor Rescue in Houston, Texas. Rescued after being spotted chasing cars while malnourished, he was determined to save himself from danger. Now having recovered, he weighs a healthy 50 lbs and is about 3 years old, making him the ideal companion for all kinds of adventures. Funny and easy-going, Speckles shows his playful side with toys and keeps his kennel immaculate, suggesting he’s housetrained. He interacts well with both dogs and cats, displaying proper respect towards felines. Though he can be a bit rambunctious, we’ve seen him get along well with children, but older kids, ages 8 and up, would be best for him.
